Sozak, or Sozaq (, Sozaq, سوزاق, also Russified Suzak), is a village in Sozak District, Turkistan Region, Kazakhstan.

==History== Sozaq was the capital of the Kazakh Khanate from c. 1465-1469. The ancient settlement of Sozak dates from the 10th to the 18th centuries and occupies an area of about 19 hectares. In historical documents from the 13th century, it is mentioned as Khuzak, and in the 16th century, it appeared under the name Suzak in connection with the struggle between the Kazakh khans, Timurids, and Sheibanids over the Syr-Darya cities. In February 1930, there was an anti-Soviet insurgency in the village, following which the administrative center of the district was transferred to the village of Sholakkorgan.
